I went through the whole process of putting my job out to bid and selecting contractors through thumbtack completely. I selected Jones Painting Services because they had the best ratings and rates from the other contractors who replied. I'm so glad I went with him!! It was easy to schedule the initial walk through for him to come see the place (set up solely online) he showed up on time, was professional, even gave me tips on a color I might like (I ended up selecting the one he recommended!), the sheen I would need, and how to get the best price on the paint colors I was needing which I definitely appreciated! His work is great, I'm astounded one person could cover so much, with such great quality, in the amount of time that he did. He worked so well within my budget, did amazing work, left no mess, and was a breeze to work with and the communication was great! I would definitely recommend him to anyone that needs a great guy at reasonable rates!

Hired Young's Painting and Remodeling to paint my garage walls and ceiling and install some can lighting. Art responded promptly with a very competitive estimate, showed up soon to discuss what I was trying to do and quickly came up with a quote that was very close to his original estimate. He and his crew were very polite and did great work. What really impressed me though was the follow-up. Due to time constraints and not having enough light in the day, a couple small places dried a slightly different color than the rest of my ceiling. Art followed up with me several times until we found a day that worked for both of us to fix the problem. Great contractor, would hire again.

Lewis did an amazing job of repairing the drywall on my bathroom ceiling and wall. He was on time (30 minutes early to be exact), professional and courteous. In three hours he had all the work completed and even cleaned up with his own broom. Would most definitely use him again and recommend him to anyone needing drywall work done.

My bathroom needed drywall repair, texturing, painting & a small amount of framework. After my consultation we set an appointment for the following week. He was very professional and got the job done in no time. The quality of his work is amazing. You can't tell there was ever any damage to begin with. I'm very happy with this company and I'm already setting up an appointment to fix a few more things. His prices are very reasonable. I'll definitely refer him to anyone I know in need of repairs.

This was our first time hiring a contractor. We had some dirt work and a shed built. Mr. Worley and his team were very professional. We are very satisfied. We will definitely use him again in the future!

We found J WEST contractors on thumbtack. He was quick with contacting us and setting up an appointment to provide us with a bid. We had soft spots in the floor checked and new linoleum put down as well as some smaller other projects. We had to set back the project some and we were able to reschedule quickly. Communication was easy throughout with thumbtack and through phone calls. Thanks!

Mark did a great job. He's honest and easy to work with on a project. He will ALWAYS answer your texts, usually within an hour or two, but if he has to find out details regarding your questions, by the next day you'll get an answer. He is understanding and listens to your ideas and concerns. He did a "magazine quality" renovation of my bathroom. Took two old restrooms in a former restaurant and turned them into one breathtakingly beautiful restroom that looks like you are stepping into a Roman Spa..Your dream is his reality. He has the best and the most understanding crew any contractor would dream of having. Would I use him again? You better believe I would!!!!

Nathaniel Wells was hired to paint almost our entire home and did so in a matter of 3 days. He will work around your schedule and is happy to work weekends.
His pricing is fair. He will give you 2 prices: one coat of paint or 2 coats is the price difference.
He is very thorough and will come back to do paint touch ups as needed. He is dedicated to getting the job done to customer satisfaction and will make sure you are happy. The finished product looks fantastic!

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

How much will it cost to fix a hole in the wall?

If you have a hole in your wall, don’t despair; drywall repair professionals can patch the hole and repaint the surface and no one will be the wiser. The cost to repair a drywall hole depends on the size of the surface area of the damage, the materials and labor required, and (for a minor repair) any minimum service fee the repair company may charge. The actual labor and drywall prices may be lower than the minimum service fee, but pros must ensure their business overhead costs are met when they go out on minor jobs. To help keep costs low once the pros get there, make sure you have the right paint on hand if you want them to do to a touch up after the repair is complete, so you don’t keep them wait (and charging you for their time) while you search in the garage. Here are two examples of average prices for smaller drywall repair jobs:

Approximate cost to repair a 5-foot crack in a wall: $125 (labor $75 and materials $50).

Approximate cost to repair a 3-foot ceiling crack: $150.

What is the difference between sheetrock and drywall?

People sometimes use the terms “sheetrock” and “drywall” interchangeably, but they are not exactly the same. Drywall is the industry term for prefabricated sheets of wall, while Sheetrock is the brand name of a type of drywall. Depending on what room is being built, your drywall installation pro will select different thicknesses or grades of drywall. Standard residential drywall is ½-inch thick. Garage walls adjacent to a living space are typically ⅝-inch thick and serve as a firewall. For a garage ceiling, most contractors will use firewall-grade drywall materials to keep your home as safe as possible.

Different types of drywall can be color-coded to indicate their purpose. Purple or green drywall boards are often mold-resistant (MR) and are applied where moisture tends to accumulate, such as in bathrooms and basements or behind tile backsplashes at sinks. These mold-resistant sheets have a fiberglass instead of a paper facing finish to prevent water absorption. Regular drywall is gray or white. The drywall industry is constantly adapting with technology to provide safer and more targeted materials. You can even install soundproofing drywall to help prevent noise transfer through rooms.

How much does it cost to put up drywall?

The national average cost to hire a drywall installation professional ranges $375-$1,500, depending on the job at hand and where you are in the country. Your drywall installation cost will often be lower if the professional is installing the drywall in a new construction with open access as opposed to a remodel. The square footage of the job, the amount of materials, and the labor required also determine drywall prices. According to drywall pros, materials costs can range from 15 percent to 50 percent of your total project cost, depending on the work you’re having done. Request several quotes from drywall installation companies to find the right fit for your construction project. The quotes may be based on the company’s standard cost per square foot or a calculation of the time estimated to complete the job plus the size of the job plus materials and any travel fees. For example, drywall installation for one or two standard-size rooms could cost $900-$1,500. The cost to hang and tape an outbuilding with approximately 40 drywall sheets at 75 cents per square foot could total $1,450, including 3.75 days of labor for the drywall crew.

How much does it cost to repair drywall?

The national average price range to repair drywall is $210-$300. Drywall prices can vary greatly depending on the size of the hole or crack that needs repair, the amount of materials required, and other factors. Cracks can appear at the seams in your drywall due to uncontrollable factors like your house settling or even minor earthquakes. Drywall, although sturdy, will break with enough impact, so if a dresser falls and crashes into a wall or your have a mishap hammering in nails for artwork, you could need drywall repair. Drywall repair professionals may have a minimum service fee of $100-$150 regardless of the size of the job. This ensures that their business expenses are met anytime they send their crew out to a job. Here are some additional examples of average drywall repair prices:

Sand and texture five wall patches: $200 (45 minutes of labor and $40 of materials).

Repair a 4x8 section of wall: $225 (labor $150 and materials $75).

Replace drywall in an entire bedroom: $1,500 (price varies depending on the number of windows, whether there’s metal trim, etc.).
